But a continuation of this trend hinges almost entirely on a slowdown of the United States economy and a depreciation of the dollar, while the adjustment process can only be painless for the world economy as a whole if domestic spending and imports in the surplus economies rise.  However, not all surplus countries have the same scope for increasing domestic demand. In China, for example, this is much more difficult than elsewhere, as private consumption is already rising fast and the economy is close to overheating. The appreciation of the yuan may nevertheless contribute to the global adjustment of trade balances.  On the other hand, in Western Europe (especially in Germany) and Japan there is a much greater scope for domestic demand to expand.  Overall, there is a strong likelihood of a sharp and prolonged downturn of the world economy as long as policymakers do not agree on ways to tackle global imbalances through coordinated and concerted action. Warm-up reading  Trade and Development Report, 2008 (Extract)  Primary commodity markets: new patterns and linkages  In 2008, the prices of all commodity groups were much higher than their peaks of the mid-1990s, except for tropical beverages. This upward trend has been mainly the result of rapidly increasing demand from several fast growing developing economies.  Price movements have also been influenced by the closer links between energy markets and agricultural commodity markets, particularly those for food crops, and by the closer links between primary commodity markets in general and financial markets.  Thus the level and stability of commodity prices has become an important policy issue, not only from the traditional development perspective, but also from the perspective of the functioning of a highly integrated global economy. Warm-up exercise  World Investment Report, 2007 (Extract)  Widespread Growth in FDI  For the third consecutive year, global FDI inflows rose in 2006 – by 38% – to reach $1,306 billion. This was close to the record level of $1,411 billion reached in 2000, and reflects strong economic performance in many parts of the world. The growth of FDI in 2006 occurred in all three groups of economies: developed countries, developing countries and the transition economies of South-East Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).  The rise in global FDI flows was partly driven by increasing corporate profits worldwide and resulting higher stock prices that raised the value of cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&As). M&As continued to account for a high share of FDI flows, but greenfield investment also increased, especially in developing and transition economies. As a result of higher corporate profits, reinvested earnings have become an important component of inward FDI: they accounted for an estimated 30% of total inflows worldwide in 2006 and for almost 50% in developing countries alone.  While FDI inflows in developed countries rose by 45% – well over the rate of the previous two years – to reach $857 billion, flows to developing countries and the transition economies attained their highest levels ever: $379 billion (a 21% increase over those in 2005) and $69 billion (a 68% increase) respectively . The United States regained its position as the leading host country, followed by the United Kingdom and France. The largest inflows among developing economies went to China, Hong Kong (China) and Singapore, and among the transition economies to the Russian Federation.  Developed-country TNCs remained the leading sources of FDI, accounting for 84% of global outflows. While there was a rebound of FDI from the United States, almost half of world outflows originated from European Union (EU) countries, notably France, Spain and the United Kingdom in that order. TNCs from developing and transition economies continued their international expansion in 2006, led by Hong Kong (China) in the former group of economies and the Russian Federation in the latter. Total FDI outflows from these groups of economies reached $193 billion, or 16% of world FDI outflows.
